Welcome to THE daily Ukraine thread on Day 1691 of Russia's full-invasion of its peaceful neighbour. But the feeling in Ukraine is that they are now fighting a criminal Putin regime supported by Iran, North Korea, China & now the U.S. Yet a proud country stands defiant 💙💛

To deny the link between religion and nationalism is to wilfully ignore history. I applaud moderate Christians who speak out against dangerous Christian nationalism today. But Christianity was the state religion of the Roman Empire… 1/3 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

This shit is ridiculous. Any help appreciated. Petition: www.change.org/p/halt-plans... Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/10154...
A post on Facebook from a resident who will be affected by the Chapelcross AI Data Centre. Text as follows: 

This photo has been taken directly from the proposed plans for the new CX tech campus hyperscale AI data centre.
That tiny white dot you can see when you zoom in is our beautiful family home. 🥲 those buildings behind are 40 meters high and there will be EIGHT of them, plus two other buildings. 
The energy needed to power this monstrosity could power that of 2 MILLION homes! I don’t think people fully understand the scale of this project or what it really means for the local area, we all will be affected by this, not just the ones like myself who will be living next to the noise & nuisance of this every day. 
Please if you are from anywhere in the region have a little look at what this really means 
Say NO to Chapelcross AI Data Centre has been really good for information i’d urge you to follow and do what you can so we can fight this.
